Tales From The Bin feat Sinful Colors' Happy Ending


Hola!

I plucked this baby off the top of the lacquered mountain that has now become The Bin. I seriously need a new rack to control the overflow. Looking at the pile makes my right eye twitch.

Organizational problems aside, I’ll be showing you Happy Ending by Sinful Colors.  I have a "thing" about Sinful Colors, kinda like a love/hate relationship. I want to love their polish but most of the ones I own are duds. Thankfully it isn’t the case with Happy Ending. I really like this green. It’s just so vibrant! Even more than I was able to show in the pictures.


The switch up.

I finally decided to try a Russian one-stroke design. Since the base color made me think of spring, I decided to try to make white and yellow flowers.  I’m still learning but I like how this turned out. I didn’t  want to take it off!

Enjoy,
Vee…xox…

Introducing The Bin.



Hey Loves,


Today’s polish comes from The Bin. Let me show you what I’m talking about:


That was The Bin. It’s where I keep some of my polish overflow if you will (notice that I said some – lol). Old polish, new polish, drug store polish… All of my racks are full so this bin holds the extras. There are lots of untries in here and my goal this year is to swatch as many of them as I can while trying to find a better way to store them. Having them all jumbled up discourages me from even attempting to go through the pile. I’m not a neat freak (by any means) but junky piles of polish drive me bananas! I know I’ve got some gems somewhere in there so I’ll be making an effort to post some swatches weekly.


Might as well start right now with Maybelline Cool Couture. Click on the pictures to see the lovely shimmer.
